Kim Kardashian West speaks to Today on Trump, selfies and politics

The queen of selfies Kim Kardashian West has revealed she's stepping away from the phone and more towards helping people.

And in a move which might surprise some, one of the world’s most famous women hasn’t ruled out a career in politics.

Her bold move comes after she posted a sexy selfie to Instagram wearing little but a bra and underwear.

In an exclusive interview with Today's Sam Rubin, Kardashian West reveals how helping get a great grandmother released from prison helped give her a new perspective on life.

Speaking of her meeting with US President Donald Trump and the release of grandmother Alice Johnson, Kardashian West insisted the move had nothing to do with politics but was more about helping people.

"That was just like a personal feeling and more of a people instinct. Everyone asks if I'm political and I'm not really. I just saw her case and felt like I had the resources to help figure it out and to help her life. I'm very grateful that we did figure that out."

Kardashian West said she believed those in the White House were compassionate despite the current furore surrounding immigration in the US.

"There are lots of things and policies that I don't agree with and I've always been honest from the start with the whole White House team about that," she said.

"I stayed really focused on the case of Alice Johnson and prison reform and would love to help out there."

When asked if she'd ever run for office, the reality TV star said it wasn't a huge focus but isn't something she would rule out either.

"Oh, I don't think that's even on my mind," she told Rubin.

Admitting her husband Kayne loves Mr Trump she said "anything could happen".

"I guess never say never," she said.

"I'm not trying to get into politics. That's not really what my goals are. I love helping people. I don't take selfies anymore.

"I don't really like them. It's not all about, like, sitting there taking selfies. I would like to live in real time a little bit more. I don't mind pictures, but I'm not on my phone the way that I used to be."

Speaking to Today hosts Karl Stefanovic and Georgie Gardner, Rubin said he was impressed with the fact she "used whatever connections she had to get that woman released”.

"That's really what motivated me to want to speak with her to begin with," she said.

"Her career is only about 12 years old. In the course of that 12 years she has made untold millions, she is arguably one of the five most famous people, dare I say in the world, for doing whatever it is that she does."

The star's new outlook to spend less time taking selfies comes as she shared a sexy selfie of herself on Instagram Stories with the caption "packing".

It also comes as phone fans mark international selfie day.

Dressed in a tight khaki-coloured bra top and black bottoms, the 37-year-old's curves were clearly on display with a host of designer clothes in the background.

The queen of selfies is well renowned in the art of grabbing attention and this selfie comes as the mother-of-three gets set to launch her eponymous beauty store in Los Angeles later today.

She followed up her sexy selfie with a more demure tweet of herself.

Dressed in a low cut white dress, Mrs Kardashian-West, tweeted a reminder to her fans about the opening of her store in Westfield Century City in LA later today.
